Happy Planksgiving BackBlast

A Pax of 10, who apparently did not overindulge during our national holiday of thanks, posted for our coldest day of the season.  Union Point Park was blocked off, so we gathered at the Convention Center overflow lot.  Temps were in the low 30s with a breeze.  However, that did not stop of couple of the more hearty fellows from rocking short pants.  We had an FNG post this morning (supposed to bring his bro-in-law, but that gentleman decided the fartsack was worthy of his undivided attention).  YHC gave the Mission Statement and Disclaimer.  That being completed, Pax began with:
